20 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures PAIENTEnwuzswu sum 2 or z STRIP-TAKEUPAPPARATUS This invention relates to a take-up apparatus, and moreparticularly to a take-up apparatus for taking up strips of thin platematerial particularly as of steel web and the like in a rollingequipment and the like.

In a rolling equipment and the like, a take-up apparatus is installedfor taking up a treated strip into a coil or roll.

In this type of take-up apparatus, atake-up supporting device such as abelt wrapper is provided which guides the strip to the take-up deviceand make it taken up thereby in the early stage of the take-up operationin order to facilitate and insure the take-up operation. Since in theconventional apparatus of this kind the take-up supporting device hasbeen arranged at the rear portion of the take-up device and accordinglythe take-up device and the take-up supporting device have been arrangedalong the direction of running of the strip, it has been disadvantageousin that not only the whole length of the apparatus becomes long but alsothere is a danger of bringing about human accidents or damaging thetake-up supporting device by the edge of a cut strip when the strip iscut during the take-up operation. Further, it has been difficult toconstantly carry out the maintenance and inspection of the take-upsupport device safely and securely, accordingly. On the other hand, inorder to prevent the afore-mentioned accidents it is required to providea protector which is disposed between the take-up device and the take-upsupporting device while the take-up device is in operation.

In the case that this type of take-up apparatus is used in an equipmentwherein a strip is continuously fed in such as the recent continuousrolling equipment, there are further troublesome problems as followsother than the above defects- In the continuous rolling equipment,several take-up machines are generally arranged along the direction ofrunning of the strip and the continuously fed strip is taken upalternately by the several take-up machines. Since the several take-upmachines employed in this type of rolling equipment are also accompaniedby several take-up supporting devices respectively arranged in thedirection of running of the strip, it is difiicult to arrange the takeupmachines close to each other. Accordingly, in the conventional rollingequipment of this type, the take-up machines have been arranged atsubstantial intervals. It has been disadvantageous, accordingly, thatthe whole length of the apparatus becomes considerably long and it isvery difficult to guide the strip between the take-up machines and itbecomes further difficult to smoothly and automatically guide the striptherebetween as the running speed of the strip increases, and besidesthe output equipments requires an extra space due to the elongated pitchof the loaded coils on the output conveyor. In addition, since thetake-up supporting device located on the take-up system side is disposedright under the running passage of the strip, the take-up supportingdevice is liable to be stained with oil dropping down from the strip andis likely to be brought into a trouble with cut pieces of strip fallingthereinto. There have been various other defects in practical use suchas difficulty had in maintenance and inspection of the take-up machinesat the time such as of belt interchange.

The present invention eliminates the above described defects of theconventional take-up apparatus, and provides an apparatus which takes upa strip as of metal web into a coil by use of a take-up machinecharacterized in that a take-up supporting device such as a belt wrapperis arranged shiftable to the position under said take-up machine in thedirection lateral to the running of the strip.

Coils 51 and 52 woundup on the take-up drums 53 and 54 are transported on a coil transporttruck 36. The coil transport trucks 36 are located right under thetake-up devices 11 and 12 (Although only a coil transport truck 36 underthe take-up device 12 is shown in FIG. 1, another coil transport truckof the same construction is located also under the take-up device 11.)and the respective trucks 36 are made movable on the rails 39 providedin the direction perpendicular to the running direction of the strip bymeans of wheels 38. Within a frame 34 provided on the respective coiltransport truck 36 is slidably mounted a coil support column 49 and areprovided an oil pressure cylinder 42 and an oil pressure piston 44 formoving up and down the coil support column 49. Belt wrappers 16 and 17are located right under the take-up devices 11 and 12 respectively andsupported on belt wrapper transport trucks 68 and 69 movable in thedirection perpendicular to the running direction of the strip similarlyto said coil transport trucks 36. The respective belt wrapper transporttrucks 68 and 69 are interconnected with said coil transport trucks 36by way of pins 67, and the both trucks 68 and 69, and 36 are mademovable together in the direction perpendicular to the running directionof the strip by a partly illustrated driving device 61 through a forkend 63 and a pin 65. Further, the belt wrapper transport trucks 68 and69 have wheels 37 rolling on said rails 39 and are provided with beltwrapper support columns 31 and 32 for supporting the belt wrappers 16and 17 respectively within frames 33 and 40 provided thereon and furtherprovided with oil pressure cylinders 41 and 48 for moving up and downthe support columns 31 and 32. In addition, said belt wrapper supportcolumns 31 and 32 are removably inserted into the frames 33 and 40 andnot connected with the oil pressure cylinders 41 and 48. Accordingly,the belt wrappers 16 and 17 are wholly interchangeable.

The belt wrappers l6 and 17 are composed as well known ofa belt 19, acylinder for extending the belt 21, a swingable arm 23, a cylinder 18for swinging the swingable arm 23, rollers 24 to 30 and so forth. Thereference numerals 45 and 46 in the drawing designate pits having acapacity sufficiently retaining the frames 33, 34 and 40 of the trucks,55 indicates a base for supporting the take-up devices, and 59 indicatesa space formed under the support base 55. A take-up drum 54 is driven bya take-up drum driving motor 57.

The state of the apparatus illustrated is that wherein the taking up ofa strip 22 by the take-up device 12 has been completed and the cut stripis going to be taken up by the take-up device 11. The strip is guided asshown at the reference numeral 13. At this stage, the coil transporttruck 36 on the side of the take-up device 12 is located right under thecoil 52 as shown in FIG. 2, and the belt wrapper transport truck 69 isretained in the space 59 under the take-up device base 55. In order tomove the coil 52 out of the line from this state, the oil pressurecylinder 42 is operated to place the coil 52 on the coil support column49 and then the coil transport truck 36 is moved out of the line by thedriving device 61. On the other hand on the side of the take-up device11, the belt wrapper transport truck 68 is located right under thetake-up drum 53, and prior to the start of the take-up operation the oilpressure cylinder 41 is operated as shown in P16. 1 to move the beltwrapper l6 upward and the belt 19 is made attached on the periphery ofthe take-up drum 53.

After adesired amount of the strip has been taken up, the belt wrapper 16 andthe belt wrapper support column 31 are moved downward and immediatelythereafter the belt wrapper transport truck 68 is moved to set the beltwrapper aside out of the strip line so that the coil 52 may betransported out. Thus, by repeating the above operations alternately,the strips 13 and 22 can be taken up alternately on the take-up devices11 and 12 continuously. Further, in the case that the belt wrappers 16and 17 are required to be interchanged or repaired due to damages madeon the belt or the like, the belt wrapper to be removed and some otherdevices accompanied thereby are first removed from the belt wrappertransport truck by means of a crane or the like outside the strip line,and then a preparatory belt wrapper and accompanied devices prepared inadvance are mounted to the belt wrapper.

direction along the running direction of the strip. Be- 1 sides, thewasted time brought about the inconvenience of the take-up supportingdevice can be remarkably shortened.

Now the guide device of the strip will be described in detail referringto the drawing.

A frame 98 is provided above the take-up devices 11 and 12 so as tocover the coils 51 and 52. Deflector rollers 14 and 15 are provided onthe frame 98. The vicinity of the deflector rollers 14 and 15 serves astake-up inlets. Strip guides 99 and 70 are provided between the take-updrums 53 and 54 respectively. The strip guides 99 and 70 are pivotallymounted to pivots 71 and 72 respectively so as to be rotated by means ofcylinders 91 and 92. Shafts 73 and 74 are disposed on a holder 75provided on the frame 98 by way of bearings 93 and 94. Strip guidingmembers 76 and 77 are provided above said take-up inlet so as to berotated about said shafts 73 and 74 by means of cylinders 78 and 79. Theguiding members 76 and 77 are able to be brought into contact with thedeflector rollers 14 and 15 with the intervention of strips 13 and 22respectively. A free roller 80 and a press rollers 81 are provided onsaid strip guiding member 76. An endless belt 83 is tensioned betweensaid free roller 80 and press roller 81. This belt 83 is driven torotate around the rollers at the same speed as that of the strips 13 and22. A free roller 84 and a press roller 85 are provided on said stripguiding member 17. An endless belt 88 is tensioned between the freeroller 84 and the press roller 85. A strip guide 87 is mounted to aprojected arm 88 of said strip guiding member 77. This guide 88 isslidable up and down along the sloped surface of a base 89 by means acylinder 78. A guide 90 is mountedon said base 89. The reference numeralindicates a fixed guide and 96 shows a fork end.

Although an example of a guide device has a construction as describedhereinabove, it will be understood that the present invention is notlimited to this construction. Now the take-up operation of the strip ina continuous rolling equipment will be explained referring to FIG. 2.Thetake-up apparatus shown in FIG. 2

is in the state wherein the strip is being taken up by a take-up device12. The strip guiding members 76 and 77 are'pushed up to the upper limitby the cylinders 78 and 79, and the guides 87 and 90 are located on thepass line to guide the strip 22 which is being taken up in a coil 52 bythe take-up device 12.

When the coil 52 reaches a predetermined amount, the continuously fedstrip 22 is sheared and started to be taken up by the front take-updevice 1 1. Prior to this shearing, the strip guiding members 76 and 99are brought into a preparatory state. First, the strip guiding member 76are rotated about the shaft 73 by the cylinder 78, and the press roller81 is put on the deflector roller 14 with the intervention of a belt 83.Besides, the strip guide 99 is rotated about the pivot 71 by thecylinder 91 and brought on a common tangential line of the take-up drum53 and the deflector roller 14. At this stage, the strip is still on thetake-up drum 54 and the strip is pinched between the deflector roller 14and the belt 83 and rolled up in the coil 52 through the guides 87 and90 and the deflector roller 15.

Subsequent to the above operation, the strip is sheared. The strip issheared by a flying shear (not shown) disposed ahead of the deflectorroller 14, and divided into a leading end of a following strip and atrailing end of a preceding strip. The trailing end of the precedingstrip is wound on the coil 52 under take-up operation, and the leadingend of the following strip follows the trailing end of the precedingstrip with little space therebetween and advances up to the take-upinlet. The leading end of the following strip is pinched be tween thebelt 83 of the strip guiding member 76 and the deflector roller whichhave been prepared in advance as mentioned hereinbefore, and is suddenlybent downward to form a take-up angle at the end of the strip. Thus, theleading end of the following strip 13 is taken up on the take-up drum 53through the guide 99.

At this stage, the following strip is wound on the drum 53 by severalturns by the operation of the belt wrapper l6. Thereafter, the stripguiding member 76 is separated from the deflector roller 14, since asufficient tension iscreated in the strip 13 by the take-up device 11.

Now, the opposite state of take-up operation to that hereinabovedescribed, that is to say, the state wherein the take-up device 11 hascompleted the take-up operation and the strip is going to be switched tothe other take-up device 12, will be explained. While the coil 51 isbeing taken up on the take-up drum 53, the strip guiding member 76 onthe deflector 14 side is held in its upper position by the oilpressurecylinder 78. The guide 87 connected therewith through aprojected arm 88 is also held in its upper limit so that the strip 13running into the take-up drum 53 may not be obstructed thereby. Theseguides 87 and 90 are held in the lifted position and the strip guidemember 77 is moved down by use of the cylinder 79 and the belt 86 is putinto contact with the deflector roller 15, and the belt 86 and thedeflector roller 15 are driven by the press roller 85 and become readyto receive the strip. Then the guide 70 is moved to the preparatoryposition. Thus, the right side take-up mechanism is set to guide thestrip 22 to the take-up drum 54. If the strip is sheared with a flyingshear under the above circumstances, the leading end of the stripadvances straight without going toward the take-up drum 54 and reachesthe deflector roller 15, and is guided to the take-up drum 54 by meansof the strip guide member 77.

In accordance with the present invention, the strip as of metal web isguided so as to be easily taken up prior to its take-up, and inparticular, the thin strip is well guided smoothly even if the leadingend of the following strip comes close to the trailing end of thepreceding strip, whereby a continuous take-up operation can be easilyand securely performed, and further, the guide of the strip can be madesmoothly and precisely since the leading end of the strip is guided witha takeup angle formed between the deflector roller and the press pollarby way of a belt.
